Inside Blue Hill Observatory: The Future of Climate Science & the Observatory

​Join Alex Evans, Executive Director, for a forward-looking conversation on the future of Blue Hill Observatory and its role in science, education, and public understanding.

​Building on more than 140 years of continuous climate observation, this session explores how the Observatory is evolving as a living laboratory—expanding access to real-time data, strengthening STEM education, and connecting local observations to global challenges.

​Alex will share the vision for the Observatory’s next chapter, including new opportunities for research, technology, and community engagement—and how this work can help meet the challenges facing the next generation.

​From the summit, take in sweeping views of the Boston skyline—among the best vantage points in the region—and see how geography, elevation, and exposure shape the data we collect.

​Visitors are also welcome to explore the Observatory at their own pace—open from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM.
